Here's a preview since apparently there are hordes of overconfident people too "busy" to follow simple steps like these:
3 cause areas: Global health & Wellbeing, Animal Welfare, Global Catastrophic Risk
Global Health:
* Malaria
* Malaria
* Vitamin A for children
* Vaccines for children
* GiveWell, an aggregator for charities similar to the prior 4
Animal Welfare:
* Fund aggregators to increase animal wellbeing by the dozens, hundreds, or thousands, or millions of living creatures' suffering
Global Catastrophic Risk:
* Research on AI risk, bioengineering risk, and nuclear risk – all of which
AI is not only listed last, but doesn't even have its own dedicated page. It's lumped in with a set of other things that many people believe are long-term risks rather than immediate term massive problems, like childhood vaccinations, malaria, or industrial animal abuse.
It is almost entirely explained by China cutting imports significantly. They are running down their inventory waiting for prices to drop again. Consumption was previously constrainted in much of Asia, for example 4 day work weeks etc. The US has also lowered their strategic petroleum reserve to new lows.
My dear friend, please start with the online safety act, and continue with the recent developments regarding age verification and/or device scanning on all operating systems to check for nudity. No, nobody is talking about it here, but we should be.
You haven't built a data center for half a billion mate, you've just launched rockets. You still have to build the data centre! Only not from bricks, it's going to be complex modular units made of radiators and solar panels and you have to buy the gpus too, and the whole thing will be bombarded with cosmic background radiation but you can't replace or repair any part of it.
From what I could tell a man was stabbed, didn't die, a minor event that happens every day in cities everywhere and always has - and then the locals decided to have a pogrom.
It's right in the article, there were 40bn of disclosed costs. It's still a good return, it pays for itself in 18 months, but if you build and rent data centres, then that's your business, and you're not likely to 100x in 3 years, which is the wild projection behind their valuation.
Also moves spend from capex to opex for your competitors - their access to your GPUs so don't have to wait to buy so many of their own, and I'm going to take a stab that those puppies are going to depreciate hard.
But better to make some money with it while trying to catch up than none money hoping you _can_ catch up.
Yes it did, you don't need to worry about whether the sql execution engine is spark, or snowflake, or sqlite or what, you just reason about the top level logic
